Most likely, he is just stomping away a fly. However, you need to see the whole picture. Body language can be tricky because the same action doesn't always mean the same thing. Watch the rest of his body language and take into account the situation. If his ears are pinned and he's all tensed up, stomping with a back hoof could be a warning to a kick. If you're trying to pick up his feet, he might stomp them down to get away from you. He'll show you what he means.
